Cheap Superheroes
The best thing about being a superhero crimefighter would be that you wouldn’t have to pay to get into the movies. This fact of superhero life is often glossed over in the comics but I bet if Superman explained that it was vitally crucial in his never ending battle against criminal genius Lex Luthor for him to see The Blair Witch Project the owner would let him in for free. Another cool thing to do if you’re a superhero is explain that you’ve just come back from a war at the other end of time and have defended the cosmos against a supernatural time-altering demon that had destroyed history itself but you’d repaired it and nobody will ever remember the horrors inflicted by this chrono-destructive monster. Because people believe it! I reckon superheroes do this a lot.
